All the scripts are created using the 'export' function within phpMyAdmin which, as you should know, does not include the code to create the database, just the tables. The database name is included as a comment at the start of each script. This means that each database must be created manually, then you must switch to the right database before running each of the scripts.
This is normal practice. If you are running on a shared web server the "create database" instruction needs to be separate as the database name may need to be prefixed with your account name, and phpMyAdmin takes care of this automatically.
